[lbo-talk] John Edwards in 2008

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

The furthest left a viable Democrat has run since Jesse Jackson?  I mean he
was pushing for operative social democratic policies, said in a speech I
heard him give in New Hampshire that workers created wealth and weren't
getting rewarded for it, focused on poverty (definitely not a sure fire way
to win elections), talked often about the need for labor reform to restore
our unions... I mean we know that he's a fraud and has a poor choice in
women, but I'm just saying.
